How can young talent be attracted to the mechanical and plant engineering sector in North Rhine‑Westphalia? Here you will find a concise overview of current topics, studies, regional activities and education initiatives.
Demographic change and the declining number of younger age groups present the mechanical and plant engineering sector in North Rhine‑Westphalia with the challenge of attracting young talent at an early stage and inspiring interest in technical professions. Attractive vocational training, modern career guidance and a realistic picture of industrial occupations are key prerequisites for engaging young people in the industry.
At the same time, the expectations of Generation Z are changing, as are skills requirements driven by digitalisation, automation and sustainability. Future skills and practice‑oriented qualification programmes are becoming increasingly important, as are cooperation initiatives with universities and educational institutions.
